Sigh of relief. Am I right? (Original Post)

(130,538 posts)1. In a sane universe it would be much more.
But I'll take it and hope it improves soon.

(12,011 posts)2. Yes and no
I was relieved at first too and still am, but a few words of caution:
It's down from a 10-point lead last month, although that may have been of registered rather than likely voters
In a 4-way race, she only leads by 2
The poll was conducted mostly before Sunday, and before the negative media coverage since the incident Sunday fully had a chance to reverberate
I am relieved that she's still up and this poll is not as bad as I had feared, but I wouldn't say I am jumping for joy yet.

That would mean she's ahead by 10!
